Sid, you are Wrong. Negative reinforcement is one of, if not THE LEAST effective way to change behavior. Positive reinforcement is the way to go. Making fun of someone isn't going to get them to change in a vast majority of cases. It just adds to the problem.

You know what though? All the diet nazis should keep their comments to themselves. This blog is about acceptance, regardless of whether you're "healthy" or not. It's disgusting that fat people are the only group people can still get away with being discriminatory towards.
